What is Austin's New Epidemic?
Our goal is to help with the homeless problem in the Greater Austin/Dripping Springs area. We work with local businesses, such as the Senior Thrift Store, to obtain clothes and other essentials. We distribute these through organizations, such as the Austin Resource Center for the Homeless (ARCH) and other various homeless shelters. We also work with the counseling team to determine if we can support any students in need at our school.
A fundamental goal of this club was to humanize the homeless population through talks and interviews. We will make an effort to get their side of the story. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVGO3a5cwUM
